Right in the heart of Whitstable with easy access to all amenities of the town. Lovely spacious and comfortable room, great breakfast choices, and after a few drinks in the bar, only a few steps to the room. Staff were great also.

the hotel itself was great, staff were very helpful. They could do with installing double glazing in the building however, as it got quite noisy early in the morning given how close traffic / heavy lorries pass to the hotel. We were in the top floor, but were still woken up by it early doors!

Great location, right in the centre of town but did mean our room, with single glazed windows, was extremely noisy. Other than that, everything was great about the hotel and room. The staff were great, the breakfast delicious, the room and bathroom were huge and well appointed.
